is not old enough yet to “wear purple and a red hat” but she has been
known to wear terrible shirts. She has three children who are a source
of pride, joy and inspiration. Her lodger, a Shih Tzu named Molly,
takes her walks every day and tries to chase Bobo the pigeon that has
adopted them.
Geri has lived a full and interesting life, met some brilliant people
discovered some amazing things — about life and about herself. She
thinks of herself, for the most part, as lucky and tries to believe that
the glass is always half full.
She finally got her BA (hons) in 2008 with the Open University and what a
party! You should have been there.
